📚 What’s Included (Courses 6 & 7)
This bundle brings together two essential courses for everyday communication:
Course 6 — Plain Form & Everyday Japanese
Learn how Plain Form works, how it’s used among friends and family, and how it appears naturally in questions, statements, reactions, and daily conversations.
Course 7 — Potential & Volitional Forms
Master two important grammar patterns that allow you to express ability (“can do”) and intention (“will do / let’s do”). You’ll learn how to form them, how they appear in natural conversation, and how to use them correctly in real-life situations.
Bonus: 10-page Travel Japanese Phrasebook (PDF)
✨ What You Will Be Able to Do
By the end of this bundle, you’ll be able to:
- Understand and use Plain Form more comfortably in everyday situations
- Follow casual conversation more easily — without feeling lost
- Express what you can do, what you want to do, and what you intend to do using Potential and Volitional Forms
- Talk about plans, preferences, abilities, and simple future actions
- Respond naturally in casual conversations and messages
- Move beyond “textbook polite speech” into the real Japanese used with friends, family, and peers
- Feel more confident participating in everyday interactions, not just listening to them
This bundle helps you become a more flexible, natural, and confident communicator in Japanese.

Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Do I need to know Hiragana before starting this bundle?
Yes. From Course 6 onward, Romaji is no longer provided. All examples, forms, and explanations use Hiragana because relying on Romaji at this stage can slow your progress. If you're still building reading skills, you may want to review Hiragana before beginning this bundle.
❓ Is this bundle suitable for complete beginners?
This bundle is best for learners who have already completed Courses 1–5 (or equivalent experience with adjectives, TE-form, and basic grammar). If you are new to Japanese, you will progress much more smoothly by starting with an earlier bundle.
❓ When do the courses start and finish?
The courses are self-paced. You can begin anytime and move through the lessons whenever it fits your schedule. There is no time limit, and you are free to review the content as often as you like.
❓ How long do I have access to the course?
You have lifetime access to all course materials, including videos and downloadable resources. You can review the lessons as many times as you like.
❓ Is this course taught in English?
Yes. All grammar explanations are taught in clear English, with many Japanese examples and audio files to help you build listening and speaking skills.
❓ Will this help me understand real Japanese conversations better?
Yes. Plain Form, Potential Form, and Volitional Form appear constantly in real-life conversations. Once you understand these patterns, you will be able to follow everyday Japanese more clearly and participate more confidently.
❓ Will this help me speak more naturally?
Absolutely. These grammar forms are essential for expressing your abilities, intentions, and everyday thoughts. They help you move beyond polite-only Japanese and speak more comfortably with friends, coworkers, and peers.
❓ Does this course prepare me for the JLPT exam?
Not directly. These courses focus on natural, everyday communication rather than exam-style grammar. While they strengthen core grammar skills, you will still need JLPT-specific study materials if your goal is to take the test.
❓ Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If you feel the course isn’t the right fit for you, you can request a refund within 14 days of purchase. I want you to feel confident and comfortable as you begin learning Japanese.
